The ESA didn't fuck around, they never do, the European mission as always has more scientists on board then the others, but with the firepower of a single European Foreign Legion on board, spread around the forces, its not like they lack firepower either. The ESA fleet has a combination of a carrier, a command ship and several medium sized multi-role vessels equipped for both atmospherics combat and landing when needed.

Russian Republic

Rosokosmos was not behind on bringing the big guns, but unlike Europe, they literally brought out big guns. Coming with a small number of scientific vessels, they brought out medium to large sized ships for security, but what really gives the Russian force a punch is the "Goranov" class orbital laser system, developed with the Europeans it is the superweapon of the Eurasians, capable of vaporizing very specific targets on the surface and minimizing civilian casualties.

Trans-Pacific PartnershipNorth American Union

The Americans on the other hand, have enough corporations around to start a small country's economy. Anything from PMCs loaded on freighters, through company survey ships to mining vessels. All of which guarded by Arcturus Security, the favorite government contractor around of course. They are led by an Arcturus capital ship, which is armed with the TPP's Superweapon, the Rods from God, a series of carbon fiber kinetic bombardment rods.

Chinese Federation

The dragon on the other hand, as always, the mission, while involving the state companies on many levels, is purely military. Which means it is far more organzied then the American one, with the meritocratic model of Corporatist administration applied to every ship. It is a mixture of medium and big sized vessels filled with scientific and military personnel. With a few freighters around from mineral exploration companies and China's very own carrier.

InterplaneteriálInterplaneteriál proper

The least technologically, but most numerous faction, a hodgepodge of repurposed military vessels and civilian such, anything necessary to conduct the mission, each of the ships includes priests, military personnel, scientists and of course, the occasional politicó officer. It also has the central command vessel of the leftist forces, a dreadnought. It includes men from all over the Interplanetriál in the solar system, including New Afrikan, Congolese, Cumánian, Bolivarian, Indian, Venusian Republicans and more.

Iran

The Iranian fleet in contrast is smaller, but more heavily drilled and well kept, it is made up of mainly medium sized ships with a few smaller vessels here and there. The Iranian fleet however has at its disposal the superweapon of the Interplaneteriál faction, an arsenal of nuclear weapons of varying sizes.

OthersUnited Nations

The UN Peacekeepers also come in presence, without rangers around the mission is entrusted in the hands of several larger vessels that command a series of small sized ships filled with crews from the Mountain Republic and earthly nations. While their lineup is the least impressive, they do command the UN CnC ship, which is the largest ship in the mission and holds the UN's special weapon, an EMP that can disable other ships within the fleet and anything on the ground.

NonAligned Movement

Various ships from within the signatories of the Non-Aligned movement have also joined the force, although officially under UN control, they are mainly commanded in the joined Israel-Palestinian/New Alba command vessel. While not numerous or impressive, they are small and the most technologically advanced of the bunch. The Non Aligned movement includes Australian, Lunar Tranquility, Israel-Palestinian, New Alban and Indonesian vessels.

[Disclaimer: Once I know the total amount of players I will chose the amount of ships. Might end up with 3 medium sized per player 3 small for smaller factions per player and 1 capital per player, but that's not set in stone.

Before we start, I need to give you some information on what is going to happen in this here game.

First of all, the game will be played almost exclusively via PMs or in the main topic of the game.

Within the main topic you can post everything that is happening with your crews and any ingame fluff you can think off. This will give you bonuses, the more you RP the better. And if you include conflicts within the crew and create complex characters you will do better overall. In the main topic I will post intel we have available on the alien species, I will also have a separate topic where I will post, and so can other players, intel gathered on the go that is shared with the fleet (you can withhold information and all that of course].

Battles, engagements, spy actions and everything like that will be decided on the spot, you send me a PM detailing (don't go overboard, a paragraph detailing you operation is enough) your operation/idea and I post the results.

There are two places where you can be, in orbit or in athmosphere, I will not next to your name where you are. If you are in orbit, the aliens will find it hard to locate you, but the closer you get the easier you are to spot. However in return for not being detected yet, you can't gather much intel form space, only bits and pieces your annalists gather together, which will very much be decided by rolling dice (same with most of your actions, unless you please/displease me with your actions and I give you a modifier). Another disadvantage of space is that everyone can see you, its space so you can't exactly hide, so whatever you do in space will probably be posted in the main topic. Unless its some sort of shuper shikrit spy action of course and it has nothing to do with movement in space.

Spacebattles are going to be decided within a post, each player sends me his plan for the battle in case you start firing and I decide what happens and post it in the main topic. You lose? Tough luck.

On the ground, of course, you can do a lot more. You will have the know-how to built all sorts of technology in the 21st century and forward you can think of, however you will need to acquire materials. Its good if you ask me beforehand what you will need and if you can build it with the amount of crew you have, cause you obviously can't built a giant skyscraper with 100 dudes for a month.

I will be posting bits and pieces of scrambled alien talk every day, probably, which can be deciphered once you have more information on their language.
